Algae as a Feedstock for Transportation Fuels - The Future of Biofuels?

A short white paper Prepared for the IEA Advanced Motor Fuels Implementing Agreement by Ralph McGill.

Algaculture (farming of algae) can be a route to making vegetable oils, biodiesel, bioethanol, biogasoline, and other biofuels.
